Estate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as promptly and respectfully as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much sympathy to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

We've shown that we're experts in producing the best appraisals that lawyers and accountants have come to rely on. Generally, the parties involved will have differing suggestions of how the appraisal process should work; however, our experience of the estate process will undoubtedly satisfy all parties involved. We compose appraisal reports that transcend the needs of the legal system and various agencies.

Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the estate therein. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Norton Appraisals and Consulting Inc. assures that our appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements needed by revenue services to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.

Many people do not understand that the IRS needs reports filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most essential requirements in a report is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in a detailed explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This sort of report will definitely show your claim that the numbers within within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Norton Appraisals and Consulting Inc. guarantees an detailed appraisal, which will provide an executor accurate facts and numbers that will exceed IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
